Colour blind

Maybe it’s time to change some of our iconic symbols in western culture to more fairly represent the truth. 

For instance the pure white light of innocence or virtue assumes light itself is white. But as many would know, we actually see white light waves as the colors of the rainbow. For the distinguishing feature in our minds eye in our brain is the different wavelengths. 

The differentiation in the brain depends on the wavelength which then denotes the different colors as we perceive them. When all the light waves are seen together, they make white light.

From universal black colored beginnings, evolution’s flexibility enabled skin pigment types to lighten in some regions due to climate, but they all depend on that same multi colored suns rays.

I have always liked to see the colors of the rainbow (reflecting universality) in sacred symbols and things.
